Placer Theatre Ballet (PTB) presents The Nutcracker, a lively and colorful rendition of this holiday favorite that has become an annual tradition for many loyal patrons in the greater Sacramento and Placer areas for more than a decade. Join Clara as she steps from a festive party into a magical dream where soldiers and mice battle.
